I heard the only real kiting done there is in NE with an outgoing tide. Haven't had the chance to kite there though. Have a look around on the net for more info, im sure you'll find something

What happened to the wind!!!

Only about 6-8 knots.

But a great location. Looks like it would be best on lower outgoing tide.
Lots of people (kids) on spit though but it is school holidays. Took ferry accross to North Shore and that looks like a great spot to launch uninhibited so I was going to do that but the wind didn't show.

SO YES I SENT A SUBMISSION TO NOOSA COUNCIL TELLING THEM TO
RECONSIDER THEIR BAN CAREFULLY OTHERWISE MYSELF (AND MY WIFES MONEY) WONT BE FOUND BEING SPENT IN HASTINGS STREET LIKE IT WAS TODAY!!...BLOODY WIND

Some of our team riders went out today from the mouth to teatree, had support boat though. Let me know if you are still around and would like company. Rest of us had a mega day in Brissy today battling the 35kts gusts. Going out again tomor

lol yep... read the other topic on this... so the shadows scare the birds and the million hooning 4wds make them want to lay eggs. An environmentally friendly sport and we get this.

The roo has spoken gr8 words of wisdom !!

God id laugh if the powers that be, have read this forum, shoot yourself in your own foot why dont you.

Oh well i hope you have photographs so you can show the next generation of kiters

well said, we are still fighting against the government "mega marina" at my local spot (tin can bay, sandy straights, inskip ect)
at the moment it is on halt, we have a green council member (who sails with me) but at the end of the year when they merge us with noosa all will be lost :| i know there isnt many marina spots between here and the goldie but atm our small marina is nowhere near full, a big million dollar boat could not make it in and that where they are gonna put it is national park!
at the moment we are getting monthly visits from the goldie riveria club, which means at least 20-30 million dollar 40 or 50ft boats screaming around the straights burning fuel like no tomorrow.
i had them cut through my sailing state titles at 30knts. it's not us that is wrecking the spots it is a select few "cowboys" as u say the screw it up for the rest of us

richrello has been presiding the dickofthemonth club for sometime now.

Thanx for the best wishes, but even better, with your gift of the gab would be a constructive submission to the council,Noosa kiteboarders would appreciate that and who knows you might even come kite here one day your self

What happens if the Council gives in to kiteboarders?

When the jet skis,4x4 drivers,windsurfers etc.get together they will then have to permit them !

You need to get the area declared a "passive recreation area" with a 4 knot speed limit for power vessels.
